Subrecipient Monitoring
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The City did have procedures in place to monitor allowable costs and activities of its subrecipients. However, while conducting a review of expenditures through the monitoring of the Appalachia Community Grant (ACG), the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD), noted that a subrecipient of the City had made unallowable expenditures for the grant. This demonstrates a control weakness in the subrecipient monitoring controls conducted by the City. Context: The City, ODOD, and the subrecipient are working on a way to recover any questioned costs associated with this and these do not represent questioned costs of the City. Effect: There is a significant deficiency in the subrecipient monitoring controls of the City that could allow future unallowable costs or activities at subrecipients, if not improved. Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement stronger monitoring controls including vendor verification and review of invoices for the draw down requests that they receive from their subrecipients.

Corrective Action Plan

The City of Athens has reviewed the findings of ODOD and has modified subrecipient monitoring procedures to detect these types of issues in the future.
